***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

completed this on xbox years ago but just downloaded it on the pc

Anyone recommend any must have graphics mods?

To many mods to list, head over to gta5-mods.com though and have a field day.

Important ones I always get

NaturalVision
4k map
4k water
Better explosions
Real Blood
And all the car downloads.

Better to install everything with OpenIV which essentially separates game files so you can play online without the mods as well as offline with them all. Check out youtube for installation, loads of tutorials there for the big graphics mods.
 
Can you mod the Epic Games version of this?

I've not read anywhere that says you can't but that said I am having some problems with the Redux mod if anyone here can shed any light?

I've followed the install instructions as per the Redux website and everything appeared to work fine - I got to the end of the process and the option said to boot the game and see the differences - I tried that and after 30 seconds or so I got a message saying I needed to boot the game from the Rockstar Launcher.

I thought, OK, let's try again and the game loading stalled on a black box with an "R" on it - after a while I closed it down. The next time I tried it got a bit further in that the loading screen came up eventually, even including the "Redux" loading graphic.....and then it signed me out of my Rockstar social club account and when I now try to sign back in, I get an "unknown error 1000.186" and have no options but to cancel the loading? (oh and thank you Rockstar for putting that ridiculous "reCAPTCHA" rubbish to make sure I'm not a bot - not annoying at all when you do find all the hydrants and it STILL doesn't ******* work!)

Has anyone had similar issues or could offer any pointers??
 
Social Club been down since around 10pm for me.

Annoyingly, "offline mode" does not work either so you are effectively left with unable to be playing offline either.

The reCaptcha is GARBAGE. Who uses reCaptcha on client login?

Guess who does not have this problem...

 
Hmmm, looks like Social Club being down was my problem as it's worked fine this morning!

Just 2 issues remain, in an attempt to get it working last night I also installed the "Reshade" add-on and while it seems to have worked, I've got the banner at the top of the screen saying "Press Home to go through tutorial" and I have no idea what, if any, button is bound to "Home" and so I can't get rid of it! (or access the tutorial for that matter!)

The other issue is, I understood that the installation of Redux meant it would only work in single player but thought I'd still be able to jump into the online multiplayer, albeit using the vanilla game, when I wanted to but I'm not sure how to do this? Anyone got any tips?

*edit* never mind, the actual "home" button on the keyboard did the trick with the Reshade mod - still can't figure out how to get back to the online game though??

Any chance you could talk me through how to do this?

I've installed the Redux mod via OpenIV and the single player works fine (or it does if the Rockstar Social Club is working!) - the problem is that I can't get the online working again.

I found a forum post that suggested removing the "ScriptHookV.dll" file from the GTA folder and renaming the "mods" folder to "mods-off" but when I try to load into the online game I get the message that I am "attempting to access the GTA online servers with an altered version of the game" and boots me back to the single player?

Anyone know how I can get back to the online?

mods cant work online for obvious reasons. You need to disable them
